Call for Student Partners: MacPherson Institute

The Arts and Science Program, and the MacPherson Institute, are thrilled to continue their students partners program for the Fall/Winter 2017/18.

They are currently looking for students to work on a number of projects, some of which are already underway, while others are just being formulated. Students will have the opportunity to enter into the work at the stage that is of most interest to them. These positions will involve about 5 – 10 hours of paid work per week, between Sept. 2017 and April 2018. The specific number of hours worked will depend on the project.

Please see the MacPherson Student Partners posting document for additional information on each of the projects.
